I'd consult a contractor to see what you have to do to turn it into an accessory building, comparable to a pool house or backyard office. You probably can't have a bathroom in it.

Of course, I don't know the building codes in your county or the specifics of your site. However, people are doing in in other areas, and here's a couple of article from how-to sites:
